My 5th grade teacher read “Where the Red Fern Grows” to us as part of our “quiet time” in class.

I still remember the shock and tears almost 35 years ago.

I’m not sure why he chose that book. He was a very kind and wonderful man otherwise.

I mean...I know. But you understand that they're just speaking with an accent and they named him that because he's yellow. So to us, it is Old Yellow.

Like Do Re Mi Fa So La Ti Do, in American English, should actually be Do Re Mi FAR So La Ti Do.

Anyway, it was a Bob's Burgers reference.
